And that’s a wrap on #PlannerBowl X (10th year) - I love that it’s X, btw 😏🐦

Thanks to everyone who participated with their takes! See you on Bluesky next year.
💯💪✍️
Thanks to everyone who joined #plannerbowl. I missed all of the #adnerd insight and love. Happy to be on bluesky -- it feels like the good days of the internet.

Big ups to @brianwaka.bsky.social, @meggatron.bsky.social and @grantawalters.bsky.social for planning it all!

See you in year 11!

Top line thought: I like seeing actors playing themselves (probably a good pitch for them to say yes).

I love how represented #NoLa is in this year's spots. Nerds, Uber Eats, the NFL anthem spot. They've had quite a rough year so far, they deserve all the love. Such a cool city. #PlannerBowl #SuperBowl

Walton Goggins Goggle Glasses. Walton Goggins Goggle Glasses. It just feels good to say! Or as a friend said, "This tickles a deep part of my brain." #PlannerBowl

Sketchers, Pringles and Doritos JUST KNEW that the Chiefs would be in it again. Lucky casting, or another scripted season...?!? #PlannerBowl

Some great UGC / fan action in this year's SB - Doritos ad competition, Fetch cash giveaway, Taco Bell's drive-thru cam contest. Historically 'social' tactics making their way to TV. I like it. #PlannerBowl

The Bud Light brief: Show suburbia that party animals on your block are a good thing...? #PlannerBowl

Poppi showed up pretty strong in this and last year's SB spot. Liquid Death also with a spot is telling.

The alternative soda movement is on the rise, and here to stay. #PlannerBowl

Brief: Shock Americans into action by (somehow) positioning Hims&Hers as different from all the GLP-1 brands / weight loss industrial complex. Personally, I don't buy it. #PlannerBowl

I know it's not on TV, but gotta talk about TWIX... baiting people with gold to look at their phones vs. commercials is good. Plus with the Yin-Yang Twins, is perfect. #PlannerBowl

Is that Kieran Culkin as a beluga?! Those whale sounds were too good. #PlannerBowl

It’s participants like you that MADE this year’s #PlannerBowl! We are thrilled with the turnout from you all!
Yo. Just a moment to say a BIG THANK YOU to the #PlannerBowl organizers. This is the first Super Bowl in a long time that has has a community space that feels like the old bird app. (All the fun, none of the nazis!) Thanks for kick-starting #MarketingSky!

Nate Bargatze gave DoorDash so much free PR during his SNL monologue - good call.
Too good of a human truth to pass up: Nate Bargatze is addicted to DoorDash. Let's personify that. #PlannerBowl

I loved the NFL Flag Football spot. I know it's trying to distract me from the concussions and brain injuries, but I'm a sucker for 80s movie tropes. #plannerbowl

Thanks for the time, Angel Soft... but can anyone go potty in 30 seconds?! I guess now I feel bad for whoever advertises AFTER them... #PlannerBowl

Y’all. We KEEP TRENDING. Let’s keep it going!!! #PlannerBowl #trending #FTW

Very nice!
"Let’s start paying attention to breasts when it matters most”

That was really smart.
Great data point and insight.

Who knew pharma could do great advertising, let alone during the Super Bowl?

Bravo Novartis 👏🏼

You’ve had some great takes this quarter, DuBose! Winner of Q2! #PlannerBowl
Is there a rule that the Super Bowl has to have at least one “funky grandma” ad every year? Weathertech managed to hit it early #plannerbowl #adbowl

Flying mustaches and eyebrows, dancing tongues... 🤨 What's lower than slapstick humor? #PlannerBowl

So many aliens! UFOs galore! Hexclad, Doritos… (Totino’s to come)It was the hot topic (in Nov/Dec) when these were being ideated... #PlannerBowl

Liquid Death: Forever fan of the brand here. But… I wish it was more edgy. #PlannerBowl
